This version of the Lyon has a dressier look thanks to the fantastic scuba knit print paired with a textured stretch satin. I purchased the grey satin from Jo-Ann in their special occasion fabrics section. I can't remember where I found this fabulous scuba fabric (Girl Charlee? Harts? Michael Levine? all great sources for knits) but I bought enough to make something for myself because I love it so much.

We had a great time taking the photos too. Audrey loved it when I told her she could do whatever she wanted. And why haven't I used this big grey wall as a backdrop before? It's so perfect!

I could keep sewing this dress, and I'm sure I will again, but I'm going to mix it up a bit now. Something else for myself, something else for the girls. Stay tuned and see.

I LOVE THIS!!!! Oh my goodness! that GIF made my day ha! Shake it girl! And I have major envy for that scuba print. I think I am going to have to search it out and buy enough to make a Lille dress for me. It is AMAZING! Thank you so much Anneliese!
